[news.eclipse.tools.ve] Re: (newbie) Using VE to create Wizard pages 
Hi Mike,

I have a few questions for you to help me understand your problem a little better. Also it looks like that tutorial is pretty old (0.5 release time frame) we are up to 1.1, so you may actually find better help inside of eclipse (Help->Help Contents->Visual Editor for Java User Guide).

1) I looked through the tutorial as well, and I did not see any steps creating a wizard, so the wizard you mention is the one you are trying to create for your project, correct?

2) If so, When you say you lose the functionality of the Back, Next, Finish, and Cancel buttons what does that entail. Each of these buttons will need event listeners on them, and these will only work when running your program (for instance Run As->Java Bean). During design time they will be inactive.

3) When you say you lose the general look and feel what specifically is this. I see you are dropping a panel, so it will not have the same borders and looks as a frame, is that what you mean? If you mean general Java look and feel check out Window->Preferences->Java->Visual Editor and notice the Swing Look and feel box that you can select a specific look and feel with.

If that's enough to get you going great, otherwise post back with some follow up info and we'll see what we can do for you.

Good luck!

Hi Folks,

I just downloaded VE and started working with it to help speed up
development of a multi-page wizard plugin project.  I've skimmed through
the tutorial here
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-ecvisual/ and
got my wizard to display a panel just fine but it seems like I lose the
wizard functionality of Back Next Finish Cancel buttons as well as the
general wizard look and feel.

Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a tutorial I can read to figure this
out?

Thanks!

Mike
